Blue Jasmine: New Clip Features Louis C.K., More Reactions, Traverse Film Festival

With less than two weeks to go until they release the new Woody Allen film Blue Jasmine, Sony Pictures Classics has released a new clip featuring comedian Louis C.K. They also held a series of press screenings throughout the US (Boston, Philadelphia, etc) and we’ve rounded up more initial reactions as we wait for fuller reviews.

Vulture has the exclusive clip, featuring Louis CK (playing Al) and Sally Hawkins (Ginger) by Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

The clip doesn’t give away much. It’s insight into the film’s other story, the one about Hawkin’s journey.

The press reaction continues to be wildly positive, with the focus again being on Cate Blanchett, but there’s also praise for Andrew Dice Clay and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Finally, those in Michigan who don’t want to travel to New York or LA to see ‘Blue Jasmine’ early can head over to the Traverse City Film Festival. It is screening as the opening night feature, on 30th July 2103 – it’s firts US screening proper outside of NY and LA.
